Our guest this episode is Stephanie Hilborne, CEO of Women in Sport.

Stephanie is a seasoned leader, having been CEO at The Wildlife Trusts and is an advocate for females across all stages of their lives in sport.

During the episode we talk through Stephanie’s career in sustainability and conservation, how she was brought up with a strong understanding that sport and great role models taught resilience, focus and hard work.

We also debate how to keep girls engaged in sport and how Women in Sport tackles the obvious as well as the invisible barriers that work to push girls and women away from sport.
